Angers Sign Jordan Amavi from Brest for £25 Million
In a significant move in French football, Angers SCO have secured the signing of left-back Jordan Amavi from Stade Brestois for a reported fee of £25 million. The deal marks a major step in Angers’ squad rebuilding as they aim to strengthen their defense ahead of the new season.
Amavi, 28, joins Angers after a successful spell at Brest, where he earned a reputation as one of the most consistent and versatile defenders in Ligue 1. Known for his pace, technical ability, and solid defensive work, Amavi has been a key figure in Brest’s backline, making over 100 appearances for the club since joining in 2021. His offensive contributions, including his ability to get forward and provide crosses, also make him a valuable asset for Angers.
The £25 million fee, while substantial for a club like Angers, reflects the quality Amavi brings to the team. His experience in top-flight French football and his previous stints at clubs like Olympique de Marseille and Aston Villa provide him with a wealth of experience, something that will benefit Angers as they look to establish themselves in Ligue 1 and compete for higher league positions.
Amavi’s move is part of Angers’ broader strategy to invest in their squad and improve their defensive options. Coach Abdel Bouhazama has been vocal about his desire to build a team capable of challenging for European places, and signing a player of Amavi’s caliber demonstrates the club’s ambition.
With this acquisition, Angers fans will be hoping that Amavi can provide the stability and quality at left-back that the team needs to push forward in the upcoming season. The deal is expected to be one of the most high-profile signings in the Ligue 1 transfer window.
